Swimming/Beach Access

A short walk from your campsite brings you to the beautiful Pend Oreille River, where we have a small Beach area to enjoy the water. Please remember it is foot traffic only down to the waterfont and be sure to remain in the designated area.

Recreational Fishing

Most Idaho waters have year-round fishing seasons. However, many rivers and streams and some lakes have special rules.

View an American Bald Eagle

We currently have two active Bald Eagles nesting near our beach. Early mornings are excellent for viewing them fishing right in front of our beach.
